Bagni di Lucca, the biggest mountain municipality in Italy, is split up into two parts by the stream Lima. The town is well-known for both its ancient spa and for the presence of the first casino built in Europe.

Bagni di Lucca was called at the beginning Bagno a Corsena for the presence of the spa with its curative waters, coming from sources of sulphate-calcium water with unique properties, among which the most famous are the ones of "Doccione" (in the upper area of the Hot Waters), of "S. Giovanni" and of "Bernabò" (less rich in minerals, but still very radioactive). Downhill we find the Ponte delle Catene (the Bridge of the Chains), linking Bagni di Lucca to Borgo a Mozzano, which was built between 1840 and 1860 on commission of the duke Carlo Ludovico according to a plan of the architect Lorenzo Nottolini.

The bridge, destroyed during the World War II, was rebuilt afterwards thanks to Luigi Pfanner. Noteworthy in Bagni di Lucca are the Academic Theatre (built in 1790 and restored in 1986), the Palazzo del Circolo dei Forestieri (built in 1923-24) and the Palazzo della Lena (16th century).

In Coreglia there is the Museum of Plaster Figurine and of Emigration, in which we can see documents and objects of the history of handicraft and emigration of Media Valle over the last four centuries.
A lot of rooms are assigned to the plates about the methods used for the making of the figurines, to the exhibition of church objects and of those one, made all around the world by emigrates, such as kitten statuettes blackened by candle smoke, busts of Greek and Roman philosophers, masks and other sundry objects.
